He was seen walking along the train and then north toward U.S. 30. After the train started moving, deputies saw the man again and stopped him. Norfolk Southern police were notified he was in custody, but they asked for him only to be warned about riding on the train. He was released.
— A Bandy Road, Knox Township, man reported at 12:27 p.m. Thursday a young, Hispanic man had placed his clothing out all over his front porch and then laid down like he was going to take a nap. Deputies spoke to the man, who said he was from Chicago and riding his bike to Pennsylvania. It rained heavily, so he found shelter to dry off. Deputies explained that finding shelter on a random front porch is not the wisest decision and can make the homeowner nervous. He was told to gather his belongings and keep going to Pennsylvania.
